Advantages And Disadvantages Of English Teacher

Some of the ways which teachers acknowledged the importance of children native language was by providing a multicultural teaching approach to their class rooms. An example of this was the teacher who sang a hello song both in English and Spanish. Students are encouraged to speak their native language. We saw example of teaching referencing back to the students to help translate the word pie. They support their languages and culture by acknowledge the similarities and differences in the ways a word or phrase is said in their language versus the English language. Teachers with children who speak another

The very terms “teaching” and “English” are controversial just by themselves. “Teaching” is a very intimate word. Everyone (principals, parents, students, politicians) has different definitions about what teaching is and what teaching should produce. Every teacher has their own learning philosophy based off of their readings, observations, and thoughts that each teacher has put into their profession. However, from talking to my observation teacher and other teachers, there’s not enough reading or observations that prepares you for your first year of teaching. Additionally, if the word “Teaching” is not controversial, the word “English” is. There are questions about what constitutes as English? What should English teachers teach? Should English class be called English class? This is just the beginning of the list. Consequently, teaching English is complicated because there are innumerable amounts of literature and there is always a new book out there. Words are always being added to the dictionary and the English Language is always changing. Not only is English hard to teach because it is very fluid, but there is so much testing to adhere to like the English HSAs. Additionally, children’s English preparation is in your hands. It is truly a lot of pressure to teach, but especially teaching English. Student’s preparation or lack of preparation in English is often the most evident on resumes, job applications, and professional

I knew from the first day I started high school I had no desire to go to college. My main goal was to graduate high school even if that meant doing only the bare minimum. Which is exactly what I did. I didn't know how important an education was until after high school. Once graduating I enrolled into cosmetology school and even there my instructors advised me to get a degree, which I still was against. After receiving my cosmetology license I began working at a beauty supply store. I found myself knowing what I wanted to say but not knowing how to get it across without talking in ebonics when educating customers. We had a lot of Hispanic customers and only had one employee who spoke Spanish. On her off days I would find myself trying to translate as much as I could from what I could remember from high school Spanish classes. However I spoke Spanglish, a mixture of English and Spanish, which left me feeling embarrassed and frustrated that I couldn't communicate like I wanted to. This prompted me to go back to school for a degree in Spanish and work on my English skills. In her article, “Spanish Lesson,” Christine Marin writes about being raised in an English only household despite being Mexican-American and learning the power of her Spanish language and being bilingual. In the article, “Homemade Education,” Malcolm X describes being street articulate but not knowing how to express himself how he wanted to through letters. Malcolm X and Marin have both overcome learning

Based on the numerous sources of sound data available, U.S. is currently out-educated. On the latest Program for International Student Assessment form 2015, the United States scored an average in reading and science, and below average in math. Results had been unchanged since 2000. U.S. scores are behind global leaders like Finland, South Korea and Canada. It is not a surprise that Shanghai outscored every other country, in all areas tested.

When a person chose to study English at university, doing that deliberately to become an English teacher in a foreign, preferably Asian, countries. To explore new cultures and to meet new people through English. They might begin to look around for suitable job offers in advance to get information and prepare themselves for any certificates and qualifications needed. But after a while, they may find out that almost all English schools in Japan, Korea, and China prefer to hire an English native, naturally, but with no need of any kind of experience, certificate, or in China, even without a Bachelor degree. The most difficult situation might be in Japan, where the requirements for an English teacher are unreasonably high how a journalist Liam Carrigan mentioned in his article.

Perhaps the most dramatic the development that has taken place in the field of English language teaching in the last 50 years has been the shift in its primary function.. from being mainly the native language of nations such as the UK or USA, to being mainly a global means of communication. The speakers of English whose L1 is another language already vastly out number native English speakers, and their number countries to grow. For most of its learners, English is therefore no longer a foreign language. This development has brought with it a number of changes in the principles and practice of English language teaching.

In my country, English is taught as a foreign language. The school that I was teaching is a bilingual school. They use English as one of instruction languages. However, in a certain level, the instruction language is mixed between L1 and English depending on the need of students. I teach English for senior high school students. Their ages are ranging from 13 to 14. The students in this context are first-grade students in senior high school. They are divided into two level. The one that I am preparing the material for is the pre- intermediate level students. These students can understand a simple text even though they do not understand all vocabulary. They read graded reader book every week and have a test every two month. This reading activity aims for comprehension and vocabulary practice.t

Teaching English as a second languages it can be a hard task if the instructor does not have in consideration the four main skills that need to be developed by the students, and how to use the methods, technics and approaches correctly with each level and group.

At one time all dialects were considered equals and anyone could have emerged as a standard., reasons. King Alfred ,the Mandate translation of Latin texts into west Saxon dialect. . he was a national hero for promoting one dialect and one district over the others and has been taken credit for the reinforcement of English, learning and writing ,and it is important to note this credit Arose in the nineteenth century. and there was a need to construe and learn English – and develop the English language into some standard so it is fit to be a medium of instruction.

In order to effectively teach English as a foreign language it is essential to understand not only the learners current ability level but also their desires and goals in learning a language. By combing these two aspects, an efficient and practical lesson plan can be designed. In this case the student is already highly proficient even fluent at times in English, and was determined to be around MM2D level (ITTO 388). Because he studies international business, he is learning English primarily as a potential occupational skill. Furthermore, because he is already proficient at casual speech and understanding, it makes most sense to focus on areas he has less experience with, in this case formal writing and occupational vocabulary as these skills will likely be essential for his future employment.

According to the reading of the textbook and general information about the misconceptions of English learning and teaching is, teachers in conventional classrooms ought to, as a result, be equipped to teach students who come from different dialects, cultures, and learning conditions. Each teacher should know to prepare themselves for the changes experience in their classrooms by reinforcement through specialized educational workshops, help them to prepare for this type of classroom teaching. Maybe these workshops should on average start by highlight these values and characteristics of language differences, thereby allow each teacher’s attainment, that can be understood easily by teachers, when faced with this issue in their classrooms. Thereby readily preparing each teacher to transform their

The English language has always been an important part of our history. It was taken from from England and developed into our current spoken and written language. Throughout the centuries it has been processed and changed to fit to our needs and of course it has been taught. Teachers have helped produce our current version of English, it has been taught from generation to generation and I would even say, without teachers our written and spoken form wouldn’t be as complex as it is now. In the 1960s, teaching was one of the few jobs that women could go into. Those that were considered the brightest and the best had only few choice beside going into teaching and nursing. But today, the best and brightest won’t go into teaching because they can become lawyers, doctors, or engineers. In the past they became teachers because it was their only option, not because it was appealing job. Teachers are an important role in society, even if they aren’t paid well enough, and are considered as minority. The reason why I am talking about this is because I want to become a high school english teacher, with a double minor in literature and french. English is an important subject at school, it helps improve the vocabulary and grammar of students. Reading the required books in the English has always been my favorite part of class. I have always loved to read and look forward each year to read the books in the curriculum. All the teachers I had over the years for this subject were nice and

Great attention has been paid to the development of English Language Teaching (ELT) in China in the last few decades since English plays an increasingly important role in social, cultural and technical exchanges between China and the rest of the world (Jin & Cortazzi, 2002; Wu, 2001; Qin, 1999). The year 2000 has witnessed an innovation in ELT for the emphasis started being put on the quality rather than the quantity of education and then ELT was expended to primary education in 2001 (Wang, 2006; Hu, 2002; MOE, 2001a). In the same year, the “National English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory and Senior High Schools (Experimental Version)” (MOE, 2001b) were also issued, which set the overall aim of ELT was to develop students’ comprehensive abilities in language in terms of language skills, language knowledge, affects, cultural awareness and learning strategies and the general English teaching objectives were also divided into nine levels. In such a context I chose a compulsory English language course with a class size of 45 for Grade 6 students aging from 11 to 12 in a public primary school in Zhejiang Province in China, identifying its problematic element, analysing how it relates to the rest curriculum development elements and proposing recommended changes as well as the mechanisms used for evaluating the changes.
